Albania passport photo size & rules
Albania is a country in Southeastern Europe on the Balkan Peninsula, with a mountainous interior and a coastline along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas facing Italy across the Strait of Otranto. Albanian biometric passports are issued through the General Directorate of Civil Status (Drejtoria e Pergjithshme e Gjendjes Civile) under the Ministry of Interior, which sets the photo standards applicants must meet.
An Albanian passport photo measures 35mm wide by 45mm tall, equal to about 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI. Albania follows ICAO biometric standards: your face must be centred and looking directly at the camera against a plain white or light grey background, with a neutral expression, closed mouth and both eyes open. Even lighting is essential so that no shadows appear on the face or the backdrop.
This tool prepares your Albania passport photo completely within your browser, so your image is never uploaded to a server and remains private on your own device, and the service is entirely free. Because official rules can be updated, always verify the current requirements from the Albanian General Directorate of Civil Status before submitting your application.
